First you will feel dread. That paper your professor told you about 15 weeks ago, is now due. And really, there is no way to fake a 20 page research paper. You spend sleepless nights reading and studying for a paper on satisfication and write it as fast as you can, glad to hand it in. And suddenly you feel bad that you just wrote a paper about settling for what is easy and taking the lazy way out. Luckily you used the word "satisficing" which was a vocab word and it worked.
Second you feel anxious. You want to be taking the final already but you are scared to take it. You go back and forth about studying until there is only enough time for the 15 minute cram session before the final begins.
Third, relief that it is done. No more books, or tests or anything! You heave a large sigh of relief that you no longer have to wake up at the insane hour of 7am and be in class pretending that you are all there.
Fourth, a little lost. Suddenly you have no papers to write, no reading to do and no more exams. What do you do with your life now?
Fifth, and my least favorite, resignation. You got your grades. There is relief in the B you got in one class but not so happy about the C in the other. If only you had studied.
Well, there is always next semester when you will study every night and be on time to every class...ha ha ha!
In other news...I got an 90% on my last math test. And for those who know me, me and math do not mix. So bask in that while I deal with the five steps of finals.
Oh, and less than two weeks until I head to Iowa for the wedding. I am excited to see my mom!
